Order No. 2 of 2010 GUJARAT ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION Ahmedabad Order No. 2 of 2010 In the matter of : Determination of tariff for Procurement of Power by the Distribution Licensees and others from Solar Energy Projects . In exercise of the powers conferred under sections 61(h), 62 (1)(a) and 86(1)(e) of the Electricity Act, 2003 (36 of 2003) and all other powers enabling it in this behalf, the Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (hereinafter referred to as “the Commission”) determines the tariff for procurement of power by Distribution Licensees in Gujarat from Solar energy projects. This order is culmination of an elaborate consultative process for considering the suggestions received from various stakeholders. 1. Background 1.1 Potential for Solar Power 1.2 Government of Gujarat (GoG) Solar Power Policy, 2009 1.3 Draft Order on Solar Energy Projects 1.4 Public Hearing 1.1 Potential for Solar Power India receives solar energy in huge quantity but utilizes it to a negligible extent. Solar energy system does not require any fuel and, therefore, the running costs are lower. The other advantages of solar energy systems are that the systems are Page 1 modular, long-lasting, and reliable and require lower maintenance. Solar radiation is received in the country in varying capacity depending on geographical condition for about 300 to 330 days in a year. Most parts of Gujarat receive solar radiation of a huge quantum per day. Broadly, solar electricity generation uses two types of technologies: Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) and Solar Thermal Power technology (STP). The Government of India has launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission as one of the eight key National Missions which comprise India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change. It has a twin objective - (i) to contribute to India’s long-term energy security and (ii) its ecological security. The Solar Mission envisages its implementation in 3 stages leading upto an installed capacity of 20,000 MW by the end of the 13th Five Year Plan in 2022. It is envisaged that as a result of rapid scale up as well as technological developments, the price of solar power will attain parity with grid power at the end of the Mission, enabling accelerated and large-scale expansion thereafter. The cabinet has approved setting up of 1,100 MW of grid solar power and 200 MW capacities of off- grid solar applications utilizing both solar thermal and photovoltaic technologies in the first phase of the Mission. As a policy measure, it is proposed in the Mission that the Tariff Page 2 Policy, 2006 would be modified to mandate that the State electricity regulators fix a percentage for purchase of solar power. The solar power purchase obligation for States may start with 0.25% in phase I and go upto 3% by 2022. This could be complemented with a solar specific Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) mechanism to allow utilities and solar power generation companies to buy and sell certificates to meet their solar power purchase obligations. The Solar Mission also provides that the State Government would be encouraged to promote and establish Solar Generation Parks with dedicated infrastructure for setting up utility scale plants to ensure ease of capacity creation. 1.2 Government of Gujarat (GoG) Solar Power Policy, 2009 The Government of Gujarat, in order to promote grid connected solar energy generation, has come out with Solar Power Policy, 2009 under the Resolution No. SLR-11-2008- 2176-B dated. 7.1.2009. The operative period for the scheme is upto 31.03.2014. The Policy envisages installation of 500 MW Solar Power generation and tariff for electricity generated from the Solar PV and Solar Thermal Power projects. The minimum capacity of Solar Power Projects should be 5 MW. The wheeling charges are 2% for wheeling of power for captive use till wheeling charges are determined by the Commission. Solar Power Generation is exempted from payment of Electricity duty. The Policy also has clauses on Security Deposit, Metering Page 3 of Electricity, Grid Connectivity and Evacuation facility, Open Access for third party sale, forecasting and scheduling, reactive energy charges and sharing of CDM benefits, etc. 1.3 Draft Order on Solar Energy Projects The Commission prepared draft Order No.3 of 2009 on “Determination of tariff for Procurement of Power by the Distribution Licensees from Solar Energy Projects”. The draft order was placed on the website of the Commission on 01.06.2009 for inviting comments and suggestions. The list of those who have communicated their views is given in Annexure-I. 1.4 Public Hearing The public hearing was held on 3.12.2009. The list of the participants who participated in the hearing and expressed their views is given in Annexure-II. 2. Commission’s Regulation on Procurement of Power from Renewable Energy Sources The Commission had notified Regulation No.15 entitled “Power Procurement from Renewable Sources Regulations, 2005” on 29th October, 2005 which specifies Renewable Power Purchase Obligations for Distribution Licensees for the year 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. The Commission had prepared draft regulations entitled “Power Page 4 Procurement from Renewable Sources Regulations, 2009 and issued Public Notice and invited comments/ suggestions from the stakeholders. In the said draft regulations, the Commission has proposed Solar Power Purchase Obligation as 1.5% of total consumption for the years 2009-10, 2010-11 and 2011-12, which was under challenge before the Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat. Finally, the Hon’ble High Court of Gujarat disposed of the matter on 9.11.2009 by vacating interim stay which was granted earlier. The Commission is in the process of finalizing its regulations. 3. Determination of Tariff There are multiple technological options such as Solar Photovoltaic (using different materials such as thin film, Poly- crystalline, amorphous, silicon etc.), and Concentrated Solar Thermal (dish, parabolic, tower) available in the market. Each such technology has different efficiency, project cost structure and performance parameters which differ significantly from one solar power project to another. Determination of project specific tariff for each solar generation project would involve significant regulatory efforts and time to understand the technical nuances of the proposed projects and scheme/technology proposed to be deployed by each project developer. Page 5 The Commission has decided that selection of appropriate technology should be left to the discretion of solar project developers and hence, has adopted an approach of Generic Tariff determination. Tariff for any type of power generating projects can be categorized in various ways: (1) Market based or cost plus tariff. (2) Project specific or Generalised tariff. (3) Single part or two part tariff. (4) Front loaded tariff, back loaded tariff or levelised tariff Each of these has its merits and demerits. It is essential to reflect the time value of money in the tariff structure. Levelised tariff incorporates the time value of money. The Commission has examined various options and has come to conclusion that in the context of Solar Energy Generators a single- part, generic levelised tariff arrived on cost plus basis is the best option. Accordingly, the Commission decided to proceed with determination of tariff for Solar Energy Generators on the above principles. 4. Components of Tariff The following financial and operational parameters have been considered while determining the tariff. 1. Capital cost 2. Evacuation cost Page 6 3. Operations & Maintenance charges 4. Debt - Equity Ratio 5. Loan Tenure 6. Interest rate on loan 7. Return on equity 8. Rate of Depreciation 9. Interest on Working Capital 10 Capacity Utilization Factor 11 Duration of Tariff 12 Auxiliary Consumption Technology for Solar Power Generation There are two distinct technologies for solar power generation viz. (i) Solar Photovoltaic and (ii) Solar Thermal (also known as Concentrated Solar Power or CSP). While most of the above mentioned parameters are same for these two technologies, the others are dependent on the technology adopted by the project, as discussed in subsequent paragraphs. 4.1 Capital cost In India, the Solar Power Technology is in its nascent stage and no authentic data regarding capital cost of a Solar Power Generation plant is available. The CERC has, in its order dated 3 rd December, 2009 in suo motu petition no.284 of 2009, considered capital cost as Rs.17 Cr/ MW and Rs.13 Cr/MW for Solar PV power projects and Solar Thermal Power Projects respectively for the financial year 2009-10. The Commission has received a petition from M/s. Astonfield Solar (Gujarat) Page 7 Pvt.Ltd. in which the project developer has proposed capital cost of Rs.17.55 Cr/MW for Solar PV project. It is important to note that with the advancement in the technology of the Solar PV based installations, economies of scale and competition would decrease the capital cost for Solar Projects over a period of time which is also envisaged in the Solar Mission of the Government of India. The Commission had, after considering the above aspects, proposed in the draft order a normative capital cost of Rs.17 Cr/MW for Solar Photovoltaic Power projects and Rs. 13 crores /MW for Solar Thermal Power Project. Suggestions of the Objectors Gujarat Energy Development Agency (GEDA) has intimated that Govt. of Gujarat had started deliberation with solar project developers in the month of June, 2008. After taking views of the project developers, the Govt. of Gujarat declared Solar Power Policy, 2009 vide GR dated 7th January, 2009 wherein tariff has been fixed for 25 years. In the aforesaid policy, the Govt. of Gujarat has prescribed rates at Rs.10/unit for Solar Thermal and Rs.13/unit for Solar Photovoltaic upto 12 years and from 13 th year onwards, the tariff of Rs.3.00 per unit has been fixed for both types of technologies.

  • Dossier on the Adani Group's Environmental and Social Record
    Dossier on the Adani Group’s environmental and social record Construction of Adani’s Godda power station proceeds on lands acquired from indigenous (Adivasi) farmers near Godda. Two Adivasi look on. Photo by Geoff Law, February 2020 Preliminary Edition, September 2020 Preamble AdaniWatch is a non-profit project established by the Bob Brown Foundation to shine a light on the Adani Group’s misdeeds across the planet. In Australia, Adani is best known as the company behind the proposed Carmichael coal mine in Queensland. However, the Adani Group is a conglomeration of companies engaged in a vast array of businesses, including coal-fired power stations, ports, palm oil, airports, defence industries, solar power, real estate and gas. The group’s founder and chairman, Gautam Adani, has been described as India’s second-richest man and is a close associate of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Adani Group is active in several countries but particularly in India, where accusations of corruption and environmental destruction have dogged its rise to power. In central India, Adani intends to strip mine ancestral lands belonging to the indigenous Gond people. Large tracts of biodiverse forest, including elephant habitat, are in the firing line. Around the coastline of India, Adani’s plans to massively expand its ports are generating outcry from fishing villages and conservationists. In the country’s east, Adani is building a thermal power station designed to burn coal from Queensland and sell expensive power to neighbouring Bangladesh. Investigations, court actions and allegations of impropriety have accompanied Adani’s progress in many of these business schemes.

    Issue 10/10 http://www.siemens.com/FACTS HVDC/FACTS - Highlights http://www.siemens.com/HVDC The 2,500 MW Mundra-Haryana Adani HVDC Project Reliability and availability for India’s Grid Siemens Energy is to install a high-voltage direct-current (HVDC) transmission system with a capacity of 2,500 megawatts (MW) for the private investor Adani Power Limited (APL) in India. Since India's economy grows continuously, the demand for energy has increased at an average of 3.6% per annum over the past 30 years and it became the world's 6th largest energy consumer. Due to the power situation, Adani Power Ltd. has ambitious plans to generate around 10,000 MW of power by 2013. Its thermal power plants near Mundra will produce up to 4,620 MW. The private investor Adani Power Ltd. is also India’s major importer of coal and operates the world’s largest harbor terminal for imported coal. At the same time the Ahmedabad- based company is India’s largest private energy trader. With modern technology and minimum loss of energy, the Green initiative of APL is supported by the new HVDC link from Siemens. Fig. 1: Siemens HVDC projects in India Power Transmission by Siemens HVDC In need of electrical energy, the region Haryana near New Delhi will be supplied in the future by Adani’s thermal power plants in Mundra, which is located approximately one thousand kilometers away. Low-loss transmission over that distance is only possible with the planned HVDC system at a DC voltage level of 500 kV.
